Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham coat of arms TUM image id: 1585831487 Licence:	Lee High Road (1900s) The Manor of Lee was a historic parish of the Blackheath hundred and existed up to 1900 when it was merged with the parish of Lewisham to create the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham. While modern Lee is centred on Lee railway station and the road of Burnt Ash Hill, the parish was based around Lee High Road which today stretches into the town centre of Lewisham. The River Quaggy formed much of the boundary between the two parishes, though at Lee Bridge (at the western end of Lee High Road) it is now almost completely hidden.

The photo was taken from the southern end, looking north towards Avenue Road (Romer Avenue), now replaced by the main entrance to the Lewisham Centre. In 1944, Lewisham Market was hit by a deadly V1 attack which landed 100 yards from the Clock Tower and demolished part of the High Street shops.

In those days, Lewisham was still on the edge of the countryside and you can peruse the rest of the map as I’m going to concentrate only on a small section. Joy Farm can be spotted in the area south of Hilly Fields, Deptford and Lewisham cemeteries. Joy Farm was on the site of the modern Elsiemaud Road. Elsiemaud Road was part of a group of roads, off Brockley Grove, that are better known today as the ’double name’ roads - Amyruth, Arthurdon, Francemary, Gordonbrock, Henryson Phoebeth and Elsiemaud. The Daily Telegraph & Courier reported on 28 April 1899: ‘Some amusement was caused at a meeting of the Lewisham Board of Works, when the following list of names of new thoroughfares was read by the chairman: Phoebeth, Francemary, Arthurdon, Gordonbrock, Amyruth, Henryson, Elsiemaud, Huxbear and Abbotswell streets. One member described the names as the most ridiculous he had ever heard. Another pointed out that the London County Council objected to two streets of the same name in the Metropolis, and it was difficult to invent new appellations.’ The estate was built in 1899 by the Heath family and were named after the first and second names of the children of the architect and surveyor for the estate, Henry Hewitt Bridgman.
